Here's the code that describes the behavior:
def load_config_file():
p = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
path1 = os.getcwd() + "/ansible.cfg"
path2 = os.path.expanduser(os.environ.get('ANSIBLE_CONFIG',
"~/.ansible.cfg"))
path3 = "/etc/ansible/ansible.cfg"
if os.path.exists(path1):
p.read(path1)
elif os.path.exists(path2):
p.read(path2)
elif os.path.exists(path3):
p.read(path3)
else:
return None
return p
